to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

and insufficient guide to the con<feht6 of the Octavo edition; 
besides which, the matter which is common to both editions forms 
fittle more than half of the contents of HowelFd Collection. By 
the chronological arrangement of Howell's State Trials, a part of 
the inconvenience which applied to the earlier editions is removed ; 
but it is obvious that there are innumerable points and circumstances, 
fidntly remembered, and not associated in the mind with any date or 
time, which it is hopeless to attempt to find amongst three and thirty 
volumes of desultory matter, without the assistance of an Index. 



Under these circumstances, it is hoped that no apology is necessary 
for offering to the Public a Work, upon which much time and labour 
have been employed, and which must be usefiil to some extent, even 
though imperfectly executed. It was originally intended to form a 
Digest, or Abstract, of the State Trials, with Notes and Illustrations 
of a merely professional character, with a view of rendering more 
practically useful the information on legal subjects which the work 
contains ; but the appearance of Mr. Phillipps's excellent Book, upon 
a somewhat similar, though less comprehensive plan, with other 
considerations, induced the Compiler to abandon that intention, and 
to restrict his undertaking to the formation of an Index. It has been 



ADVERTISEMENT. 

considered that the object of an Index, namely, that of furnishing a 
ready means of reference to the contents of the work, would be best 
attained by the simplest method of arrangement, and that any arti« 
ficial analysis would be altogether inapplicable to the State Trials ; 
this Compilation, therefore, merely consists of two Tables, alphabeti- 
cally arranged ; the first being a Table of Names, with a short abstract, 
under each name, of the contents of the work,, so far as they relate 
to the individual to whom the name belongs, and a reference to the 
passages in which he is mentioned: the second being a Table of 
Principal Matters, containing references to the leading subjects, as 
well as the points of ISw, arguments, and' other circumstances, 
incidentally mentioned throughout the whole Collection. The heads 
of reference in both these Tables have been made as numerous and 
partic^^dar as possible, in order to afford a large number of such points 
as tosiy most probably occur to the memory of the Reader, smd by 
v^hich he may be guided directly to the object of his search. A Table 
of Parallel Reference has been added, for, the purpose of rendering 
the Index applicable to Hargrave's State Trials, as well as to the 
Octavo Edition. This Table is the converse of that which is given 
in the twenty-first Volume of the Work; the one containing, a 
reference from the Folio edition to the Octavo, and the other a 
reference from the Octavo to the Folio. 

. It may be necessary to explain to the Reader, that as it frequently 
happens that eminent and remarkable Characters are mentioned . in 
the State Trials, as having been present on particular trials or occa- 
sions, without their having taken any prominent part in the proceed^ 
ings, it has been thought proper to refer to theftn in the Index of 
Names, with their description as Judges, Serjeants, Counsel, &c. and 
the date of the transactions in which their names occur.

ACCESSARIES. 



An Accessary cannot be convicted before the 
Principal is attainted, Sanquhar's Case, 2 vol. 
756.— By Stat. 2 Edw. 6, c. 24, if a man be 
accessary in one County to a Murder or Felony 
committed in another, he may be indicted and 
tried in the former County, ibid, ib.-— In the 
Indictment of an Accessary in Middlesex to a 
Murder committed in London, it must be stated 
directly tliat the Principal committed the 
Murder in London, and not merely that he was 
indicted for it there, ibid. 757. — If a person be 
indicted as an Accessary to two, and is found 
by Verdict to be Accessary to one only, the 
Verdict is good, ibid. 759. — ^Though the Prin- 
cipal be errpneously attainted, the Accessary 
may be convicted, unless the Attainder of the 
Principal is actually reversed, ibid. 760. — A 
Wife cannot be convicted as an Accessary to a 
Felony committed by her Husband, or by her- 
self under his direction, Turner's Case, 6 vol. 
612. — It is not necessary that an Accessary, 
though charged in the same Indictment with 
the Principal, should be tried at the same time, 
9 vol. 125. — ^When in practice the Accessary 
and Principal are tried together, the Verdict 
always is, and ought to be, returned against 
the Principal first, ibid. ib. 19 vol. 87. — ^An 
Accessary to several Principals jointlv is ac- 
cessary to each of them severally, 9 vol.126. —

19 vol. 24, 30, 58. — Authorities in support of 
the negative of this Question, ibid. 86. — In- 
quiry into the nature of Accessaries before the 
»ct, and the History of the Law of England 
respecting tliem, in Mr. Hume Campbell's 
Argument for the Crown in Macdaniel's Case, 
ibid.783. — It was held by all the Judges, in Mac- 
daniel's Case, that one who procures a Felony 
to be done, though by the intervention of a 
third person, is an Accessary before the fact, 
and within the meaning of the Statutes depriv- 
ing such Accessaries of their Clergy ibid. 804. 
—If it appears in Evidence on the Trial of an 
Accessary before the fact to a Felony, that the 
Crime of the Principal was not Felony, or not 
that species of Felony with which he was 
charged, the Accessary may avail himself of 
this, and ought to be acquitted, Macdaniel's 
Case, ibid. 808 (note). 

ACCOMPLICE. 

Sir Thomas Witheriagton's Argument, in 
Love's Case, in favour of the competency of 
Accomplices to give Evidence against persons 
tried for the Offence in which they are impli- 
cated, 5 vol.176. — Mr. Hale argues for the 
Prisoner in the same Case, that an Accomplice 
is not a "lawful and suflScient" Witness 
in Cases of High Treason within the mean- 
ing of the Statutes of Edw. 6, ibid. 240.— 
It was held by all the Judges in Tonge's 
Case, that an Accomplice is a good Wit- 



ness within the meaning of those Statutes, 
6 vol. 227 (note), 228 (note). — If a Pardon is 
promised to a person upon condition that he 
discovers a Plot generally, this does not destroy 
his competency as a Witness on the Trial of 
persons concerned in that Plot, Tonge's Case, 
ibid. 228 (note).— But Lord Hale thought that 
it would be otherwise, if he had been promised 
a Pardon upon condition of his giving Evidence 
against any particular person connected with 
the Plot, ibid. ib. — Discussion of Lord Hale's 
Opinion upon this point, in Layer's Case, 16 
vol. 158. — Chief Justice North says, in Lang-

of an Accomplice, 9 vol. 721. — Discussion 
whether an Accomplice, already indicted for 
the same. Offence which he is called to prove 
against another person, is a good Witness for 
the Crown against that person. Murphy's 
Case, 19 vol. 702. — ^The Court in that Case 
decided in favour of his Competency, ibid. 709. 
— An Accomplice is not to be credited by a 
Jury, unless his Testimony be confirmed in 
some material points, but it is not necessary 
that he should be confirmed in every particular, 
31 vol. 980, 1123.— Mr. Serjeant Copley 's Re- 
marks upon his doctrine in his Defence of 
Watson, 32 vol. 513.— Lord Holt's Remarks

ACQUITTAL. 

Acquittal in a penal Statute means an Ac- 
quittal by due course of law, and not a Pardon, 
Chetwynd*s Case, 18 vol. 327. 

ACTION. 

Definition and nature of an Action at Law, 
6 vol. 1078. — Argument of Sir Robert Atkins 
in the Case of Bamardiston v, Soames, in favour 
of the proposition, that where a wrong is done, 
and a particular Damage sustained thereby, 
the Law gives the party injured a Remedy by 
Action, ibid. 1077. — Chief Justice North's 
Reasons against the universality of this propo- 
sition, ibid. 1107. — No Action will lie against 
a Judge for any thing done by him judicially, 
ibid. 1096. — Actions in new cases are always 
received with caution by the Courts, ibid. 1108. 
— Sir John Hawles assigns as a reason for the 
Abatement of a Civil Action by the death of 
the Defendant, that there may be matters of 
Defence in his personal knowledge, which are 
unknown to his Representatives, 11 vol. 476. 

ACT OF PARLIAMENT. See Statutes. 

ADDITION. 

An erroneous Addition to the name of the 
Defendant in an Indictment cannot be taken 
advantage of in Arrest of Judgment, but must 
be pleaded in Abatement, Axtell the Regicide's 
Case, 5 vol. 1223. — The Stat. 27 Eliz. c. 7, re- 
quiring an Addition to be given to the name of 
every Juror returned, does not apply to Juries 
from the City of London, Matthews's Case, 15 
vol. 1323. — No Addition is required to the 
name of the person on whom an Offence is 
charged to have been committed, Goodere's 
Case, 1 7 vol. 1 025. — ^A general Title of Courtesy 
is a sufficient Addition in an Indictment ^ and 
therefore where a Prisoner, indicted in Ireland 
as a Yeoman, pleaded in Abatement that he 
was not a Yeoman but a Soldier, the Judges, 
upon Argument, held the Addition sufficient, 
Weldon's Case, 26 vol. 237. 

ADHERING TO THE KING'S ENEMIES. 

See Treason, 

If the rebel Subjects of a foreign Prince, who 
is at amity v^th Great Britain, invade England 
without a Commission from their Sovereign, 
they are the Enemies of the King of England, 
and English Subjects adhering to them, are 
guilty of High Treason, Duke of Norfolk's 
Case, 1 vol. 1 030. — Assisting a Government 
hostile to England in making war against an 
Ally of England, is Adhering to the King's 
Enemies within the Statute of Treasons, 
Vaughan's Case, 13 vol. 530. — Sending Sup- 
plies or Intelligence, or rendering any assist- 
ance to a Hostile Force designing an Invasion 
of England, is High Treason in the Article of 
Adhering to the King's Enemies, ibid. 531. — 
In an Indictment for this species of Treason, 
it is sufficient to allege in the words of the 
Statute that the party *' adhered to the King's 

]BQ«imeV^ wiUiQut saying << Against th^Kio^/' 



ibid. ib. — Mr. Justice Foster says, that in 
Gregg's Case the Judges were of opinion, that 
the sending Intelligence to Enemies, though it 
be intercepted before it reaches them, is an 
Overt Act of Adhering, and that this Opinion 
was adopted by the Court in Hensey's Case, 

14 vol. 1376 (note), 19 vol. 1344.— See also 
the Case of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, 
1 vol. 957. — Mr. Justice BuUer, in his Charge 
to the Grand Jury previous to the Trial of 
De La Motte, adopts this Opinion, 21 vol.808. 

ADJOURNMENT. 

Chief Justice Saunders says in Pilkington's 
Case, that a person who has authority to call 
and dissolve a Meeting, has also power to ad' 
joum it, 9 vol. 289. — A Criminal Court has 
the power of adjourning, in Capital Trials, 
after the Jury are charged and before verdict, 
where such Adjournment is necessary for the 
ends of Justice, 25 vol. 1295 (note). — Entry of 
such an Adjournment on the Record in Stone's 
Trial for High Treason, ibid. 1 296 (note).— Mr. 
Hume says, that an Adjournment of the Diet 
after the Assize is sworn, is strictly forbidden 
by the Scotch Law, 18 vol. 1068. 

ADMIRALTY. 

Observations upon the extent of the Jurisdic« 
tion of the Court of Admiralty, 13 vol. 454. —

Trial for Perjury, 10 vol. 1080. See also 
Blackstone's Opinion, ibid» i\\, (note).—- The

have those for Jurors who are minus suspecti, 
8 vol. 334. — Chief Justice Pemberton, on the 
Trial of Lord Grey of Werk, states the rule to 
be, that the King cannot challenge without 
cause, but that he is not bound to show his 
Cause till the Panel is gone through, 9 vol. 128. 
•—In Count Coningsmark'sCase, Chief Justice 
Pemberton seems to have expressed a different 
Opinion, ibid. 12.-^ If there be a Default of 
Jarors when the King challenges, he must show 
Cause for each Challenge, Peter Cook's Case, 
13 vol. 313. — ^This Rule was objected to by the 
Counsel for the Prisoner in Layer's Case, but 
Lord Holt and the rest of the Court overruled 
the Objection, 16 vol. 134. — ^The same Rule is 
stated by the Court on Home Tooke's Trial for 
High Treason, 25 vol. 25. See also Spencer

Parkyns, that it is no Cause of Challenge by 
the Prisoner to a Juror that he is a Servant of 
the King, 13 vol. 75. — See Mr. Hargrave's 
Note upon this Subject, 22 vol. 1038 (note). — 
It is a good cause of Challenge to a Juror that 
he has expressed an Opinion of the Prisoner's 
Guilt; but the fact must not be proved by the 
Examination of the Juror, but must be proved 
aliunde, Peter Cook's Case, 13 vol. 334. — If the 
cause of Challenge touch the honesty of the Juror, 
he is not to be examined on it, 15 vol. 898 (note).

Case, 10 vol. 1081. — It is no cause of Chal- 
lenge by the Prisoner, that a Law-suit was, 
some time previously, depending between him 



and the Juror, Francia's Case, 15 vol. 897. 
—The Prisoner cannot challenge peremp- 
torily on the Trial of collateral Issues, Rat- 
cliflfe's Case, 18 voL 432.--Upon this point a 
different Opinion appears to have prevailed 
formerly, ibid. ib. (note). — Lord Coke says 
that when the King is a party, a person shall 
not challenge the Array for favour in the. 
Sheriff, because, in respect of his Allegiance,

the time of making a Challenge in Criminal

by the Attorney General in Layer's Case, 16

ing in the Statute of Treasons, 7 vol. 961 
(note). — On th^ Trial of Thomas Howard, 
Duke of Norfolk, the Attorney General con-

1 vol. 1003. — Opinion of the two Chief Jus- 
tices and the Chief Baron, on the Trial of the 
Earls of Essex and Southampton in the House 
of Lords, that when a Subject attempts to put 
himself into such force that the King may not

King to govern otherwise than he wishes, it is 
a compassing the Death of the King, ibid. 
1355. They also gave it as their Opinion, 
that the law intends the compassing the Death- 1 
and Deprivation of the King as a necessary | 
consequence of a Rebellion against his au- 
thority, as foreseeing that a Rebel will not 
suffer him to live who might punish his Trea- 
son, ibid. ib« — On the Arraignment of Sir 
Christopher Blunt and others, Chief Justice 
Popham declared, that if a Subject attempts

but of the intent by the fact, ibid. 1410, and 
ibid. 1417 (note).-^By the Law of Nations, if 



an Ambassador compass the Death of the 
King in whose Country he is, it is Treason, 
2 vol. 881. — An attempt to imprison the King^ 
though his Death be not intended, is High 
Treason in the Article of compassing his 
Death, Williams's Case, ibid. 1087.— On the 
Trial of Sindercome for Treason against the 
Protector, the Court held, that compassing 
the Death of the Chief Magistrate, by what* 
soever name he is called, is High Treason, 5 
vol. 848. — It was resolved at a Meeting of the 
Judges in 1663, that a Conspiracy to levy 
War, though no War be actually levied, is an 
overt act of compassing the King's Death 
within the Statute of Treasons, ibid. 984.— 
In Layer's Case this was said to have been 
decided a hundred times, 16 vol. 312. — In Sir 
Henry Vane's Case the Court held that the 
consultation and advising together of the 
means of destroying the King and Govern-

was resolved at a Meeting of the Judges in 
Tonge's Case, ibid. 225 (note). — 'The Court 
hold in Sir WUiiam Parkyns's Case, that a 
Conspiracy to invade the Realm, or to depose

Doctrine as undoubted law in Watson^ Case, 
32 vol. 579. — Lord Mansfield says, in Dr. 
Hensey's Case, that levying War is an overt

Conspiracy to levy War for the purpose of 
dethroning or imprisoning the King, or to 
oblige him to alter his measures of Govern- 
ment, or to remove evil CouncillorS| is an 
overt act of compassing the King's Death, 
21 vol. 490. — Mr. Justice Buller says in De 
la Motte's Case, that the sending intelligence, 
or collecting intelligence for the purpose of 
sending it to an Enemy, for the purpose of 
enabling them to annoy us, or defend them- 
selves, is an overt act of compassing the

ment, in his Defence of Hardy, on the nature

CQuicied Tnutor, implicating another penoo 
in biff Guilt, read in Byidence against the

pourt frould not permit the Prisoners to con- 
fess a part of the Indictment and plead Wot 
G^iltyto the residue, ibid. 1^10, 1417.— It 
ivas resolved by all the Judges In Tonge's 
Case, that if a person before a Privy Counsel- 
lor or |i Justice of the Peace confesses Trea- 
son, and afterwards at his Trial denies it, it 
will be suiScient at his Trial to prove his Con- 
fession by two Witnesses, without any proof 
of the actual Comi^aission of the Treasons 
charged, the Confession being within the exr 
ception in th^ Statute of Bdward the Siith, 
requiring two Witnesses to Pfove the actual 
Treason, 6 vol. 227 (note).rr-The Judges ^Iso 
held, that a Confession before a Priyy Counr 
sellor. though he l)e not a Justice of the Peace, 
b within the meaning of that Statute, ibi4* 
828 (note).^But the Court, jn Willis's Case, 
doubted whether ^videoce of a Confession 
would supply the want of two Witnesses re- 
quired by the Stat. 7 Will. 3, to every oyert 
act of Treason, though they tbopght that such 
Evidence is admissible in coofirniation of 
them, 15 vol. 623. See Mr. Justice Foster's 
doubt upon this point in Berwipl^'s Case^ 
18 vol. 369. — Chief Justice Eyre says in 
Crossfield^ Case, that there U no rule of 
Law making it imperative on the Prose- 
cutor to prove an overt act by two Witnesses 
before Evidence of a Confession c^n be ad- 
mitted. 26 vol. 4»7. — A Confession by a Pri- 
soner pefbre the Privy Council re(ince4 into 
writing, but not read over to him, nor signed 
by him, cannot be given in Evidence against 
him as a Writing, Layer's Case, 16 vpl. 214--;:t^ 
But a person who took Minutes of the Exan^i- 
naliop before the Council, may prove the Coq- 
fession by Parql, and refresh his memory by 
the MiniUes, ibid, ib.— It seems not to be

by the Law of Sicotland a Confessioo elicited 
by a promjse of Pardoq is only a conditional 
aiid qualified Confession, and cannot be used 
against the Prisoner unless the Condition i^ 
performed, 6 vol. 1250. — It seems, that by thq 
Scotch Law, ^ Confession of Guilt cannot b^ 
given in Evidence against a Prisoner, unless i^ 
has been subscribed by him, and m^de b^for^ 
a competent Tribunal, 10 vol. 785.

Lovat's Trial the Statute 20 Geo. 2, c. 30 was

jCranborne's Case Lord Holt says, that where

he loses no legal advantage, 13 vol. 237. — The

Subject may contest with the Crown in a Court 
of Justice, but they must not, under colour of 
an Opinion, utter private or public Scandal, 
2 vol. 766. — So also Counsel may plead their
